I looked again, and there before me was a flying scroll.

我又举目观看，见有一飞行的书卷。

我又举目观看，看哪，有一飞行的书卷。

我復舉目、見一飛卷、

我復仰觀、見卷軸一舒、有若翻飛、

我復舉目而觀、見有一卷如飛、

I looked up again and saw a flying scroll.

Again I lifted my eyes and saw, and behold, a flying scroll!

I looked up again and saw a scroll flying through the air.

I looked up again and saw a flying scroll.

Then I raised my eyes again and looked, and behold, there was a flying scroll.

Then I turned and raised my eyes, and saw there a flying scroll.

Then again I lifted up mine eyes, and saw, and, behold, a flying roll.

I looked up again and saw a flying scroll.

Then I turned, and lifted up mine eyes, and looked, and behold a flying roll.

Then I turned to look, and there was a flying scroll!

Then again I lifted up my eyes, and saw, and behold, a flying scroll.

He asked me,“ What do you see?” I answered,“ I see a flying scroll, twenty cubits long and ten cubits wide.”

The Lord said to me,“ Take a large scroll and write on it with an ordinary pen: Maher- Shalal- Hash- Baz.”

Then the voice that I had heard from heaven spoke to me once more:“ Go, take the scroll that lies open in the hand of the angel who is standing on the sea and on the land.”So I went to the angel and asked him to give me the little scroll. He said to me,“ Take it and eat it. It will turn your stomach sour, but‘ in your mouth it will be as sweet as honey.’”I took the little scroll from the angel’s hand and ate it. It tasted as sweet as honey in my mouth, but when I had eaten it, my stomach turned sour.Then I was told,“ You must prophesy again about many peoples, nations, languages and kings.”

Then I saw in the right hand of him who sat on the throne a scroll with writing on both sides and sealed with seven seals.And I saw a mighty angel proclaiming in a loud voice,“ Who is worthy to break the seals and open the scroll?”But no one in heaven or on earth or under the earth could open the scroll or even look inside it.I wept and wept because no one was found who was worthy to open the scroll or look inside.Then one of the elders said to me,“ Do not weep! See, the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, has triumphed. He is able to open the scroll and its seven seals.”Then I saw a Lamb, looking as if it had been slain, standing at the center of the throne, encircled by the four living creatures and the elders. The Lamb had seven horns and seven eyes, which are the seven spirits of God sent out into all the earth.He went and took the scroll from the right hand of him who sat on the throne.And when he had taken it, the four living creatures and the twenty- four elders fell down before the Lamb. Each one had a harp and they were holding golden bowls full of incense, which are the prayers of God’s people.And they sang a new song, saying:“ You are worthy to take the scroll and to open its seals, because you were slain, and with your blood you purchased for God persons from every tribe and language and people and nation.You have made them to be a kingdom and priests to serve our God, and they will reign on the earth.”Then I looked and heard the voice of many angels, numbering thousands upon thousands, and ten thousand times ten thousand. They encircled the throne and the living creatures and the elders.In a loud voice they were saying:“ Worthy is the Lamb, who was slain, to receive power and wealth and wisdom and strength and honor and glory and praise!”Then I heard every creature in heaven and on earth and under the earth and on the sea, and all that is in them, saying:“ To him who sits on the throne and to the Lamb be praise and honor and glory and power, for ever and ever!”The four living creatures said,“ Amen,” and the elders fell down and worshiped.

Then I looked, and I saw a hand stretched out to me. In it was a scroll,which he unrolled before me. On both sides of it were written words of lament and mourning and woe.

In the fourth year of Jehoiakim son of Josiah king of Judah, this word came to Jeremiah from the Lord:“ Take a scroll and write on it all the words I have spoken to you concerning Israel, Judah and all the other nations from the time I began speaking to you in the reign of Josiah till now.Perhaps when the people of Judah hear about every disaster I plan to inflict on them, they will each turn from their wicked ways; then I will forgive their wickedness and their sin.”So Jeremiah called Baruch son of Neriah, and while Jeremiah dictated all the words the Lord had spoken to him, Baruch wrote them on the scroll.Then Jeremiah told Baruch,“ I am restricted; I am not allowed to go to the Lord’s temple.So you go to the house of the Lord on a day of fasting and read to the people from the scroll the words of the Lord that you wrote as I dictated. Read them to all the people of Judah who come in from their towns.

After they put the scroll in the room of Elishama the secretary, they went to the king in the courtyard and reported everything to him.The king sent Jehudi to get the scroll, and Jehudi brought it from the room of Elishama the secretary and read it to the king and all the officials standing beside him.It was the ninth month and the king was sitting in the winter apartment, with a fire burning in the firepot in front of him.Whenever Jehudi had read three or four columns of the scroll, the king cut them off with a scribe’s knife and threw them into the firepot, until the entire scroll was burned in the fire.The king and all his attendants who heard all these words showed no fear, nor did they tear their clothes.

He was holding a little scroll, which lay open in his hand. He planted his right foot on the sea and his left foot on the land,

After the king burned the scroll containing the words that Baruch had written at Jeremiah’s dictation, the word of the Lord came to Jeremiah:“ Take another scroll and write on it all the words that were on the first scroll, which Jehoiakim king of Judah burned up.Also tell Jehoiakim king of Judah,‘ This is what the Lord says: You burned that scroll and said,“ Why did you write on it that the king of Babylon would certainly come and destroy this land and wipe from it both man and beast?”Therefore this is what the Lord says about Jehoiakim king of Judah: He will have no one to sit on the throne of David; his body will be thrown out and exposed to the heat by day and the frost by night.I will punish him and his children and his attendants for their wickedness; I will bring on them and those living in Jerusalem and the people of Judah every disaster I pronounced against them, because they have not listened.’”So Jeremiah took another scroll and gave it to the scribe Baruch son of Neriah, and as Jeremiah dictated, Baruch wrote on it all the words of the scroll that Jehoiakim king of Judah had burned in the fire. And many similar words were added to them.
